Intencity is a decade old. It has lasted longer than anything that's been in that building. It could, however, be more appropriately themed (maybe to DC Super Villains Unleashed and thus expanding the area?).

Please no more DC!!!

Movieworld has really come far in the last 12 and a half years.

Another great batch of photos @RobC really like the ones of the movieworld parade.

I am making enquiries. We certainly believe we can assist.  But it will be up to VRTP.  Will keep you posted if we do. 

Good luck @Mark ShawI really hope VRTP gives this to you. The park really needs some big improvements and I think if they got you onboard you could really make it a great place.

[Village Roadshow's Gold Coast theme parks slowly recover while Wet'n'Wild Sydney struggles]

Hi @Mark Shaw i’m suspecting that you and your team are planning something big for the park. Especially since you specialise in most things they are lacking.

They really need to listen to their customer base about service and, of course, build something new every couple of years to get people coming back.

Could Wet’n’Wild Sydney maybe be your company’s first project.

[Village Roadshow Theme Parks to offer Free Entry to GC2018 Athletes and Volunteers]

I think this shows that VRTP really care about their what they are doing and are showing their commitment to their Parks and Community and that they are not only about making as much money as they can. This really is a selfless act and something that they did not have to do.

[Glubbo's 2005 DW & MW Photos.]

Those are some great photos @RobC.

Just because you have games in carnival midways, that doesn't mean they're out of place in theme parks.

Have to agree with you @AlexB even though they could be presented/themed much better I have no problem with them in the parks. Whenever I go to the parks I normally try my luck on 1 or 2 of the games.

Look at Disney and Universal they have these midway games all over the parks no ever complains that they they are cheap excuses to make money on the contrary I think they add to the atmosphere and immersion (on specific occasions) very well. I think I could even say that most of Dreamworlds sideshow games are themed pretty well and they mostly fit in with the areas that they are placed in. I also think that because most of the games in the parks I just mentioned are more spread out it makes them feel more like they were meant to be there and that they were added to the areas to help immerse and have fun. Most of these ones do not fell like a cheap excuse to make money and that they are just trying to shove them down our throats. 

An example of an area that has to many of the games in one spot is SFMM. All the games are in the one area that you have to pass through to get from one side of the DC Universe to the other, I had to walk through so many of sideshow games that when I went through it gave me a cheap feeling and that they were trying to force me into play. It really shows how many there are when they are all close to each other

My opinion on why Sea Worlds Sidshow games is spoken about negativly is that as I mentioned above the congestion with most of them being in the one spot with you being pushed past them (The still closed train gate) showing that have have quite a few. Assuming dreamworld have more (do not quote me) it definitely does not look feel that way because of the distance in between all of them. It is also not presented very well, they look generic and something you would find at a random beach boardwork not something for a theme park. Hopefully in the near-future with all the great things that have been happening at the Village Roadshow Parks they will at some point refurbish them and give them all proper themes.

PS. Isn’t the Basketball Hoop thing just there untill they start work on the new roller coasters. (I read somewhere it was going to be a coaster)

[Buzzsaw stoppage - 22 March 2018]

At least they said it was done by a controlled stop censor and did not call it a malfunction. But really in the article they mention a ride stoppage from over 1 year ago, and can they please stop mentioning the TRR incident every time a routine stoppage or as they call it “breakdown” occurs. I am still not happy about this but I have to admit the report was a more tame than usual. (even though it is for a stupid reason)

[Vivid Sydney At Luna Park]

Great to see Luna Park participating in such an amazing event. This will defeinetly encourage people to vist, me personally haven’t been to Luna Park in a while and have been holding back because there hasn’t been anything new in a while, but know they have this I am going to get my butt of the couch and take a trip to Luna Park.

[Glubbo's 2005 DW & MW Photos.]

Great photos @Glubbo great to see how much the park has improved. Quite a few ot your photos are interesting to me, specifically the ones from Cyclone (HWSW) and from it’s que area since I had never been to the Dreamworld before WWW, Flowrider and Kevil hill were built, (I was still a baby) I am so used to the HWSW weaving through the slide tower and the area as whole being a bit more full. Another thing I noticed was the shark in Wipeout’s pool. I have always known that Wipeout had a shark in the water and that it was removed due to the drought and them emptying the pool to save water but this is the first picture I have seen with the shark. Can someone please tell did the shark move around or bob in and out of the water, etc or was it stationary? Thanks again Glubbo for the pictures, I really can not wait to see your pictures of Movieworld.

[VRTP On Google Street View]

I just think it is funny that if you turn towards penguin point at the monorail system mid-station where only half the seal sculptors can be seen, the head is censored but while at penguin point when you look over it is in full view and it is not censored. I also assume that the Joker requested his face not to be shown so that Batman will not find him.

[The Off Topic Topic]

So were the interactive elements like the ones that are currently in the BTMR que in the Magic Kingdom.

[Dreamworld Hotdog stand]

Hopefully they either get rid of it or change it soon, like the one the towards the exit.

The Train was actually reopened early on the 3rd.

That does not sound like dreamworld....

Unless they caged it up so you wouldn’t stick your hand into the construction site. Someone could lose an arm you know.

 

[Flyover Australia: Dreamworld registers trademark, looks to increase Flying Theatre capacity]

I would much prefer it have to just have a seatbelt, but for me a bigger issue is that you may not get the same expirenece from every seat. From my experience on Soarin Over The World some parts of the video look weird sitting in different spots (other than the middle), such as the Eiffel Tower (It looks like a piece of spaghetti) which is because of the spherical screen. I really hope dreamworld do not have this problem.

This configuration of the I-Ride on the Cutting Edge web page, I have never seen.   ((interesting)or not?))

 

The first thing I thought when I saw this was tailspin.

[Wicker Man - New Alton Towers Coaster]

I do not know how Alton Towers are for space but assuming they have some left I think it was a very good idea to replace there flume with this amazing themed rollercoaster because know they could build a better flume somewhere else with good theming which they obviously could do and than they would also have a new ride.

[Wicker Man - New Alton Towers Coaster]

Wow that theming is amazing. 

 

[Gold Rush demolition at Dreamworld]

When I was there in December 2016 there was no cover on it.

[Theme Park Maintenance 2018]

I know what the problem is@Rollercoaster_Lover when you go in to the category thrill rides or family rides WWF is not in there. The only place you can find it is in the all attractions list.

[Eureka Mountain replacement dark ride]

If DW do get a dark ride I hope it would be an omnimover because of there high capacity and being able to go be amazing theming. e.g. the haunted mansion

[Control panel pictures]

I was waiting to get on EE and I was in the front row and the cast member at that control panel went to the back row to check harnesses so while she went down I pulled out my phone and took a pick. The control panel was very close I could literally touch it.
